Application of Power Electronics in Renewable Energy SystemsWhat is Renewable Energy

systemsWhy should we adapt Renewable energy Systems?Application of Power Electronics in Renewable Energy SystemRenewable energy sources are sources of energy that are naturally replenished

This includes Sunlight, Wind, Rain, Tides, Geothermal heat

Renewable energy sources does not effect or pollute the environmentGlobal consumption of energy has grown up by 44%

Primary sources of energy are non renewable sources of energy

Depletion of this source of energy is irreversibleWhy Power Electronics?Over the last few years there has been a lot of development in the power semiconductors devices.

Many innovative equipment have been developed.HVDC TransmissionFACTS DevicesHence semiconductor-based power conversion represents a key enabling technology to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s electricity supply

Power electronics technologies have been widely used in renewable energy systems like hydro power, municipal solid wastes, biomass, geothermal, solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, wind power and tidal wavesWind EnergyMicro TurbineSolar PhotovoltaicFuel CellWind energy is the most common Renewable source of energy

Wind power, is an alternative to electricity generation methods using fossil fuels like coal

Energy generation using wind does not have ill effects on the environmentAlso non-renewable sources are not eco-friendly.

This leads to greenhouse gas emissions which in turn leads to Global Warming.

Hence more and more efforts are made to adapt Renewable Energy systems.

Solar photovoltaic are completely based on the solar energy conversion principles

There are many types of single and polycrystalline crystals are used in it

These crystals provides 14% to 20% efficiencyThe recent developments are discovered of the crystals having 7% to 9% power efficiency Structure of Photovoltaic SystemFuture DevelopmentsThere should be more use of this energy system in countries where there is ample sunlight

Increasing the working efficiency

Decrease in cost

The energy conversion efficiency is highest compared to the other energy sources

Hence this is considered as the future energy source

It can be used for variety of applications like transportation, stationery and portable powerIt converts chemical energy from a fuel into electricity through a chemical reaction with an oxidizing agentThe components used in a fuel cells are hydrogen, steam methane, hydrocarbons and alcohols like MethanolUse of Power Electronics in Fuel cellsThe output voltage is low dc and in many cases line frequency ac is required, this requires voltage step up and dc-ac inversion

To meet the dynamic load changes, energy back up is required

This is where Power electronics is usedFuel Cell based energy Conversion SystemEnergy conversion System using Dc-dc Converter CONCLUSIONTIME FOR INTERACTIONEnergy Power ConservationProcess of Renewable and Distributed Energy SystemTypes Of RectifiersBasic Inverter Circuit
